Terran Orbital's Prospects Brighten with ITU Waiver for Rivada's Satellite Constellation, Analyst Says
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Terran Orbital Corp's (LLAP) $2.4 billion order for satellite buses from Rivada has been given a boost by a favorable International Telecommunications Union (ITU) ruling. The ITU has waived a requirement for Rivada to have 10% of its proposed 576 satellite constellation launched by September. This allows Rivada to proceed with LLAP’s expected timeline of launching 144 satellites by June 2026 and another 144 by September 2026. The ITU waiver requires confidence in Rivada’s funding outlets, manufacturing, and launch. LLAP shares traded lower by 0.71% at $1.42 on the last check Thursday.
